Update 1.6.355 — fixes updates that died silently mid-upgrade
Posted by tomspark
If your update ever stopped dead right after the line 'Upgrading via atomic rename-swap' — no error, nothing — this fixes it. The installer runs a quick check for port conflicts before upgrading. On a busy box (lots of open network connections), that check could get killed by the system, and it took the whole installer down with it. Silently. Your box and your settings were never at risk: the update simply never got far enough to change anything, which is why re-running it did nothing either. Update now and it will complete normally. Thanks to the backer who reported this one — reports like that are exactly how these get found and fixed fast.
